I got the lm-sensors working awhile back. gkrellm will interface with lm-sensors automatically after you get lm-senosrs running. Pretty kewl.

Nice work hyperspace!
A few hints & tips:
The command "sensors" will give you a written text output from the sensors, essentially the same as what you see in gkrelllm. That in itself isn't all that remarkable but combined with the command "watch" it is! Not many people know this command so write "watch sensors" in a command line window.
Neat, isn't it? It updates automatically every two seconds. If you want to change that time then use "-n <secs>" ro change that time.
Second, many modern harddrives have built in heat sensors. Linux can read those as well! I use an application called hddtemp and I use it like this:
[davidt@loki]:~$ hddtemp /dev/hda
/dev/hda: ST340014A: 39 C
Not bad, eh? There is also a gkrellm plugin for this as well. Go here for the hddtemp webpage...
